2025 General Discussion Thread (NBA news, random thoughts, etc.)

That Luka trade just gets worse and worse. It's basically the worst sports trade of the 21st century. Lakers sitting at the top of the standings, Luka averaging a 40 point triple double. Mavericks a mess. Anthony Davis has played 14 total games for the team since being acquired as the only real piece, a guy 6 years older than the guy he was traded for, and continuing to break down. I feel so bad for Dallas fans. That was a franchise destroying trade, unlike anything we have seen in a long, long time.

It's not even the worst NBA trade of the last 10 years.
The PG trade will, almost certainly. always be worse.

We had a media thread before, but I'll put this here, no big news or anything. If you were bored or had time to kill to check out, these guys do a "Last Take" parity mainly, and a handful of times an "outside the NBA" too. The cast is Shannon Sharpe, Perkins and Stephen A.

Sometimes they'll have guests characters as Deion and Skip Bayless.

The Rockets' bench is absurd.

Steven Adams is leading the NBA in offensive rebounds per game, despite averaging 22.1 minutes. His 7.9 offensive rebounds per 75 possessions would be an NBA record.

And of course, Clint Capela, assuming he plays enough minutes to qualify, would be even higher than that. He's currently averaging 10.0 offensive rebounds per 75 possessions.

Reed Sheppard is third among players with zero starts in box plus/minus and is averaging 19.0 points, 5.5 assists, 4.3 threes and 2.3 steals per 75 possessions.

Tari Eason is averaging 17.0 points per 75 possessions and shooting 51.2 percent from three.

Darius Garland with another toe injury. Here's hoping it's not the same one because he could be out for a while.

PG trade was awful for the clippers in the long run but it was also to have Kawhi,so we can see why the clippers make this move.Kawhi deserve big heat for that too

The Mavs trade Luka for no good reason after making the finals the year before

Three teams sitting at 1-10 is absurd. The tank is heavy and extremely blatant this year. Charging fans money to go see some of these teams play should be illegal.

So now NBA media (including ex-players) are saying to relocate the Pelicans. So, it's becoming apparent to me that Dumars was sent there to commit sabotage. If I was a well-to-do fan, I might want to file a class action lawsuit against the league.

If this team sells within the next 12-18 months, I wouldn't be surprised.

Would a Gabe Vincent+Rui Hachimura+2nd rounder for Porzingis make sense for both teams? Atlanta gets a gritty defender and 3pt shooter while LAL gets a backup big for the playoffs.
